Hmm.. I'm a bit concerned over this. AFAICT, the compiler fails a large number 
of tests (pretty much every library fails), and now it turns out the free 
version can't create DLL. Is it worth to invest time in this compiler?

I've applied this patch. It still feels very strange to me that in order to 
create a DLL one needs a .def file :-(
